BROOM -NAILING MACHINE Application filed October 20,1936. Serial nof4'sa'e4e.

This device relates to the manufacture of brooms. I The principal object of this invention is to provide a device which drives and clinches nails or staples through a metallic sleeve,

thereby holding the brush material in a sure and desirable manner.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device which is simple in construction a and in use.

A further object is to provide a device which is adapted to be used by an operator that is blind, in order that brooms may be manufactured without the hazard which ordinarily is present whena blind operator operates a machine.

Vith the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodimentof the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope the spirit of the invention.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a top plan view of the device.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the device.

Figure 3 is an end view'of the device.

Figure 4 is a view of a broom secured-by the use of my device.

Figure 5 is a detail view of Figure 1.

By referring to the drawings it will be seen that there is provided a table member 1. This table member 1flis provided with rests 2 and 3 and a handleof the broom 4.

By referring to Figure 2 it will be seen that a broom 5 is in position upon the table 1. Before the broom 5 is placed upon the table 1 a die block 6, which is provided with a pluralityof staple channels 7, is loaded with staples 8. (See Fig. 5.)

It will be seen by referring to Figure 2 that the table 1 is provided with suitable stand members 9 and a base member 10.

In operating the device the broom 5 is first fitted with a metallic sleeve 11 which is used for the purpose of holding the upper of what is claimed, without departing from ends of the broom 5 in a desirable'broom'form and also for the purpose of securing by pressure the handle 4. The broom 5 is nowplacedupon the tablel'sothatthe metallic sleeve 11; is directly above fthedieblock 6; The operator now swings a metallic clinching block'121di'rectly over, the metallic sleeve 11 and above th'e'die'block 6. The operator now operates a'lever13 which is secured to a shaft 14 and is provided witha crank end 15 upon which'is secured a connecting rod 16 which is utilized in operating a sliderod 17 which carries the clinchingblock 12 up. i

or down, as desired, by moving the lever 13.

The shaft 14-also carries a ratchet wheel 18 which is secured thereto and functions with a dog 19 pivoted by means of a pivot pin 20 to one of the stand members 9. This dog 19 is provided with an operating arm 21 which may be utilized in releasing the dog 19 from 7 the dog wheel 18 when desired.

By'referring to Figure 3 it will be seen thatwhen the operator swings downwardly a second lever 22,-a shaft 23 is caused to rotate and to move a pair of connecting rods 24 upwardly due to an eccentric 25 formed on the shaft 23. The upper ends 26 of these connecting rods 24 are pivotally secured to a carrier block 27 to which is secured a staple driver 28, provided with a plurality of push g fingers 29 which functions within the plurality of staple channels 7. As these plu-. rality of push fingers 29 are forced upwardly they drive the plurality of staples 8 through the metallic sleeve 11 and are clinched against the clinching block 12.

What I claim is z- 1. In a device-of the class described comprising a broom stapling machine consisting of a table member, handle rests secured to said table member, a die block carried by 1 said table member, a plurality of staple channels formed in said die block for the reception of staples, a clinching block functioning above said die block in a movable manner in order that the same may be swung out of the way in removing or placing a broom upon said table member, means for forcing said staples positioned in said staple channels upwardly through a metallic sleeve and broom 10%) portion in order to clinch the same against said clinching block, substantially as described.

2. In a device of the class described, a table member, handle rests secured to said table member, a die block carried by said table member, a plurality of staple channels formedin said die block for thercception of staples, a clinching block functioning above said die block in a pivoted manner, a shaft,

an o erating lever securedit'o said shaft, a.

cran end formed on said shaft, rod, a slide rod, said slide rod the purpose of carrying said clinching block up or down by movement of said lever, a ratchet wheel carried onsaid shaft, means for releasing said ratchet Wheel, an eccentric a connecting shaft, a lever. attached to said eccentric shaft,

a pair ofconnecting rods positioned onr said eccentric shaft,upper ends of saidv connect? ingrods secured to a carrier block, astaple driver, a plurality of push fingers functioning with staples-in said staplechannels for the purpose of forcing upwardly saidstaples. through a metallic sleeve andcthrough a broom portiontherein-and to cause the same to be clinched against said clinching block, substantially as described.

In testimony whereofl aflix my signature.
